I understand my call to cross-cultural ministry, following global missionary service in the Church of the Nazarene, to now be to teach cross-cultural concepts in various educational institutions and venues of the church. Some of my most meaningful fulfilling of this ongoing call is to see students learn to broaden their worldview and to learn how to exegete the various contexts of ministry.
